Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an ink composition comprising a precursor material for a thermoelectric material, a precursor material for an inorganic binder comprising a mixture of Cu, Se and optionally S powder, an organic solvent and an organic binder. The present invention also relates to a Cu-Se-S-based ink composition for printable thermoelectric materials, comprising a mixture of Cu, Se and S powders. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a flexible printed thermoelectric material obtainable by printing the ink of the present invention. The present invention further relates as well as to a flexible printed high power density thermoelectric generator, heat flux sensor and thermoelectric cooler comprising the flexible printed thermoelectric material and its use, particularly for large scale applications. Further, the present invention also relates to a method for producing the flexible printed thermoelectric material.
